A Random Update
I have a sinus infection. It's like having Ebola in your nose, cavities in all the top molars of one side of your mouth, while someone squeezes your head in a vice. This too shall pass. By next week I will have forgotten all about it.
Thought your website was finally immune to all the quirks of the various browsers? Think again. Explorer 7 and Firefox 2.0 were recently released, dammit. I recommend trying out Firefox Portable 2.0 Release Candidate 3 before abandoning version 1.5.7 for good–just in case one of the extensions you can't live without isn't compatible with 2.0 yet.
In my blog's sidebar I updated the podcasts and videocasts I watch and listen to faithfully. I'm also subscribe to other feeds, but these are the ones I'd highly recommend. The "Other Gaijin Podcasters" category, however, is for courtesy. No offense, but aside from Trans-Pacific Radio, I don't listen to gaijin shows, including my own.

Rich, thanks. Thank you, thank you, thank you, and so on. We're tickled pink by your endorsement - glad to hear that you find TPR worth listening to (that's the goal, after all.) Ken and I really hope you and your readers/viewers/listeners enjoy what we put out.
If there's anything we can do to make our ramblings more enjoyable, more comprehensible, or better overall, we welcome, nay, solicit the comments of one and all at Trans-Pacific Radio.
Equatorial Guinea. Another "small" problem.

One thing I've been wondering is what your source is for the news articles you read at the beginning of the show. Do you write them yourselves or are you reading them off a website?
We write them ourselves. Sometimes Garrett does an evil thing and writes really long sentences that make me run out of breath and do three takes to get right.
We always agree to do the 'prep' - ie, write the articles, before we get together, but we ususally spend the first hour or so of a session writing them.
Long, run-on sentences turn Ken's stentorian pronouncements into Walter Winchell-esque entertainment.
We get the content from a variety of widely available sources - Kyodo, Asahi, Yomiuri, TV, Japan Times, IHT, AP, Google News, etc.
i know what yyou mean about IE7. now IE has all the same bugs as firefox for web apps. yeah!
Regarding Firefox 2.0 - I upgraded and replaced my old one. There is a fix that I found and used that you can do to make the extentions compatible with 2. It involves renaming the ipx extention to a zip, then unzipping it, then editing the text so that the version can be accepted in the required file and then reversing the process - it's a snap really and it works.
